Abstract
The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has its coming of age currently w ith 4 sources detected at high significance levels, after experiencing about 30 years history. The energetic gamma rays provide direct means for uncovering higher-energy non-thermal phenomena at various celesti al objects. We need more data with improved sensitivities, and multitu des of such efforts are now under way.
